Guidance for code parties on the new harmonised prioritisation process which comes into effect on 29 May 2026. It aims to support consistent implementation across industry codes.

Details

This guidance will be kept under review and may be subject to change at the Authority’s discretion, including (but not limited to) as part of ongoing engagement between the Authority and existing code panels or following the appointment of a code manager in relation to a relevant code.

The guidance defines the prioritisation categories and criteria and outlines the process for making prioritisation determinations. It also covers the review process, treatment of cross-code modifications, and the use of modification registers, and considers how the process should be applied to both live and future modification proposals.
